Torrealba to Giants? Schneider Plan B? RHB off bench?

Troy Renck chimes in on the Denver Post blog with a tidbit about a NL West rival (most likely the Giants) who has eyes for Yorvit, Brian Schneider as a possible back up to CDI, and some names for the RHB off bench. Bobby Crosby... hmm.

Update: Renck made the Schneider tidbit a linked article found here: http://www.denverpost.com/sports/ci_13845103

SI's Hot Stove: Colorado Rockies

This guy thinks a trade of Brad Hawpe to the Braves for Derek Lowe makes sense. Uh... Mr. Corcoran, there is this thing about contracts... anyway, interesting read.

Mike Timlin Signed; Reports to Casper

Troy Renck's All About the Rockies blog brings us this little newsbit. Also includes the Hirsh trade for the dreaded PTBNL.

Like Renck said, no risk/high reward signing. Hopefully the depth helps out in September (Timlin, Herges, Speier, etc.) or we don't have to get to these guys and the bullpen gels well.

Connect to Rockies

Update: There was a previous fanshot that had a linked article that indirectly mentioned the Rockies weren't connecting with fans via Twitter. There is now a new button on the Rockies toolbar that has two baseballs connected with a rectangular oval called Connect to Rockies. On the page, there are links to facebook and a Twitter page that has yet to be created. Here is some proof that the Rockies are trying to connect to fans.
